Daily Narrative
The day began early with a rash of uploading to the funkymoose sever, prior
to having to checkout at 11:00am. The day was predominantly windy
(turny) and scenic. Highway One up the California coast has two distinct
scenic chunks. The first is from Morro Bay to Carmel, the second
is from San Francisco up to Rockport. Today we drove the first chunk.
Put this drive on your to do list the next time you find yourself in California
in a reasonable sized vehicle. It is as scenic as drives get, often
with cliffs heading straight down on one side and straight up on the other.
When it does level out, it is typically with coastal farms and pasture
land. The scenic coastal part itself is not all that long, around
130 miles. We stopped at a great little cafe in Big Sur part
way up for a little lunch and then drove on up past Monterey to Half Moon
Bay Campground for the night

Morning in Oceano, not quite keeping up with the Jones'

Kind of rustic, kind of cold, very pretty

Fencing and gating this country looks like a real challenge

Highway One is lacking in shoulders

While this vehicle worked well here, it was about to have
a lot of trouble maneuvering corners
